A delightfully rich and creamy chicken version of Mulligatawny soup. This main meal soup is more like a delicious curried chicken stew, serve with my Garlic and Coriander Flat Bread.
Mulligatawny is an English soup after an Indian recipe, the original version consisted of thick broth from lentils, onion and curry powder. It can be made as spicy as your taste buds will enjoy. You might like to also try my beef version of Mulligatawny Soup.
